5 - used by Lincoln, from, IIRC, the Bible. He was not predicting war, as opponents suggested, only indicating that, in the end, the country would be either all one thing, or all the other (slave or free).
8 - Tempe
9 - 1890's

1..VTC, Poalo & Meyers smell sweet with Dial (soap).

2..Christopher Atkins or Dr. Atkins--credit to Kib, Meyers & Frank.

3..BTK, rightly cited by Poalo & Frank.

4..Ed4 can't run with him but still knows Bernard Legat.

5..Abe, being biblically inspired, known by VTC, Knights, Meyers & Poalo.

6..Ed4 & Frank with Emma. Jane Eyre was a Bronte work.

7..VTC, Poalo & Meyers cite Joan Jett.

8..Welcome TXs; you and 3 with Tempe. Two others think Tempe, Scottsdale & Mesa are just sections of Phoenix.

9..Rbny (and apparently 3 other posters) was doing some serious reading about the 1890's.

10.."Flapper" wasn't derogatory. Try "Floozie", though some may remember as "Floozy" and were thrown off.

11..Kib, Ed4, & rbny give us Gustav Mahler.

12..Poalo & VTC identify TRON.

13..VTC & Poalo with Missouri

Scootsdale is a city separate from Phoenix with it's own government. It's like saying Alexandria is just a part of Washington.

I know that; I was just teasing the 2 of you who selected Phoenix.
